Today's Story Highlights

Court: Cops Can't Compel the Use of Body Parts to Unlock Phones
Authorities can't force people to unlock their biometrically secured
phones or other devices, ruled a federal judge in California. "The
Government may not compel or otherwise utilize fingers, thumbs, facial
recognition, optical/iris, or any other biometric feature to unlock
electronic devices," Magistrate Judge Kandis A. Westmore wrote.
Passcodes already are protected by the Fifth Amendment.

Rumors Roil Ahead of Next Month's Galaxy Unpacked Event
Samsung is expected to unveil its new lineup of flagship smartphones on
Feb. 20 at a Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco, and the rumor mill
has been operating on overtime. It's believed three new Galaxy S10
models will be announced at the event, as well as a folding phone.
Banners promoting Unpacked are using the phrase "Unfolding the Future"
as a tagline.

Blue Collar Linux: Something Borrowed, Something New
Sometimes it takes more than a few tweaks to turn an old-style desktop
design into a fresh new Linux distribution. That is the case with the
public release of Blue Collar Linux. Blue Collar Linux has been under
development for the last four years. Until its public release this week,
it has circulated only through an invitation for private use by the
developer's family, friends and associates looking for an alternative to
the Windows nightmare.

CES 2019: A Tech Solution for a Standoff
To say I'm typically not a fan of CES would be an understatement, but
this year was very different. A combination of better logistics and
fewer people at the show, coupled with some truly earth-shattering
content, made CES a must-attend event this year. One of the things that
jumped out at me is that IBM announced a compelling fix for the border
wall controversy.

6 Ways to Safeguard Data Before an Emergency Strikes
Think about planning for a natural disaster emergency that might affect
your home. You'd likely store some water, flashlights, food, blankets
and other essentials. The key element of your planning would be
proactivity. You'd do all of the work before an emergency occurred, not
during the actual crisis. If your supplies were used up after the
emergency passed, then you quickly would restock.
